Spent last night messing around with Python distutils on
Macintosh. Learned more than I ever wanted to about path
name conventions on the Mac, but overcame some of the
problems there. Wrote a new version of the path

results.

Current state of distutils on the Mac is that, with a bit
of tweaking, it can do standard installs. C Compiler support
needs serious work, though.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser
